Party hostel with hammocks

I stayed here for one night. Great place to party and meet people, However I would not recommend this place if you are gonna stay for several days and want to get some sleep.DO SLEEP IN A HAMMOCK, I stayed in a dorm and they were dirty and had cockroaches, sleeping in a hammock would have been a better experience.

I did a reservation in the Obserbatory accomodation, it was really good, you see everything from there, but just a little part of the sky. You have to confirm your reservation, I did it, five days before, and I didnt have any problem.I visit the place with my girlfriend, It was really nice, relaxing, adveturer..<3

Room Tip: Any accomodation is good, but it you did a reservation, you have to confirm it before the day. You want to relax choose a private room in the west side of the hostel, or the room near to the reception east side, those really quieter.

I had a fun time at Rocking J's. Met lots of nice people, played beer pong, enjoyed happy hour. Don't come here if you want to sleep early or sleep in late (unless you are a deep sleeper).

The prices are really low we had a double private which had an interesting set up, desk and bench down bottom and bed reached by ladder up top. It was comfy enough. You don't have a ton of privacy, but that's hostel living for you!

The food at the bar, well I only tried the cheeseburger and that was enough, it took a long time to cook and was still pink in the centre. I'm not the only one who ran into that issue, the fries were great though. Drinks weren't cheap, but happy hour three times a day was!

I had a great time and would do it again in a heartbeat.

I’ve stayed at this place before and its artsy fartsy décor can be a bit overwhelming, but its location, amenities, beach access, and surrounding attractions makes this a must stay. Plus I’ve never seen such a Green establishment. They’ve found ways to reuse everything, and that’s a good thing (despite sometimes being a tad tacky). My only complaint is that as time has gone past, the wear on the facilities are starting to take their tolls. Also, the hammocks in the main area used to be free, but on my last stay the place was like a ghost town due to the daily traffic placed for daytime usage… I can understand the charges for the ones used for overnight sleeping but this really limits the lounging opportunities in the common areas. Perhaps this was an effort to force its guest to sit at the bar or in front of the water/bar coolers (they’ll get their money one way or the other???.

This place was so cool. located 200 feet from the beach, and about a half mile from town, Rocking J's has accommodations for all types of travelers. If you bring a hammock to set up for the night, the stay if only $6USD. Private rooms and tent staying is also available. Stayed in a double for 10USD per person and it was very secure, a little dark, but clean. Great place to be, surrounded by all sorts of great hippies and life loving individuals from all over the world. I will definitely be back to Rocking J's

Here for one night in January, good vibe in the hostel and it is a very sociable place with some great bits of art around but thats where the positives stop.The main drawback was that I had a hammock in the corner which smelt someone had dropped their guts a few nights previously. Everywhere was pretty dirty and they are very understaffed.With a little better upkeep this could be a fantastic place IF cleaned up.
